It’s a cool crisp morning here in Sarajevo as the light fog that had gripped the city in the early morning hours slowly burns away as the sun greets this part of the world on its daily journey. The presidential election is just one day away. Today, October 6, is considered a quiet day, as no official campaigning is allowed by any of the candidates. However that does not keep them from being seen in public. Mirsad will take advantage of that opportunity hoping to get out and about around the city to meet people as they tend to their daily activities. A man who was quite unfamiliar to the residents here back in May now can’t go out into public without being stopped by those wanting to shake his hand, have a picture taken or discuss their concerns about the current state of things in Bosnia and Herzegovina and what will he do to try and change that. Tomorrow, October 7, will be unlike any other election day that Mirsad has experienced in his life. For on this day his name will appear on the ballot as one of six candidates running for the Bosniak seat on the presidential council. Following his last campaign rally in nearby Zenica on Thursday night we spoke about his plans for election day.
Još samo jedan dan do izbora za Mirsada Hadžikadića kao kandidata za predsjednika Bosne i Hercegovine
Svježe je i prohladno jutro ovdje u Sarajevu, sa laganom maglom koja je zahvatila grad u ranim jutarnjim satima a sada se polako razilazi dok sunce pozdravlja ovaj dio svijeta na svom dnevnom putovanju. Predsjednički izbori su za samo jedan dan. Danas, 6. oktobra, je dan predizborne tišine kada nijednom kandidatu nije dopuštena službena kampanja. Međutim, to ih ne sprečava da se pojavljuju u javnosti. Mirsad će iskoristiti tu priliku s nadom da prošeta gradom i sretne ljude dok se oni bave svojim svakodnevnim poslovima. Čovjek koji je u maju lokalnom stanovništvu bio prilično nepoznat sada ne može izaći u javnost a da ga ne zaustavljaju oni koji žele da se rukuju, fotografišu i razgovaraju s njim o zabrinutosti zbog trenutnog stanja u Bosni i Hercegovini, i da pitaju šta će on uraditi da to pokuša promijeniti. Sutra, 7. oktobra, bit će drugačiji od svih drugih dana izbora koje je Mirsad doživio u svom životu. Jer, tog dana njegovo ime će biti na glasačkom listiću kao ime jednog od šest kandidata koji se kandiduju za bošnjačko mjesto u Predsjedništvu. Nakon njegovog posljednjeg skupa u četvrtak naveče u obližnjoj Zenici, razgovarali smo o njegovim planovima za dan izbora.
